Cod liver oil

I am over 50 and have taken cod liver oil capsules as health supplements for many years. Even though I live in a country which has sunshine during the summer, should I take the one a day capsules throughout the year or not take them during the summer months.

Re: Cod liver oil

Thank you for your post.

Cod liver oil is an excellent supplement which contains vitamin D but the natural fish oils can also have other health benefits - for example lowering cholesterol, improving concentration levels, and improve skin and hair health.

I would recommend taking it daily for this reason.
